New Display: Fing'rs Heart 2 Art Collection sighting @ Wal-mart

I was so excited because I was shopping at Wal-mart and while checking the polish section I found something fun!!!  :)  Usually my Wal-Mart is super slow at putting up new collections, but today I saw them putting up a new display of nail art products that wasn't already on my radar.  Literally the lady was assembling the display and placing product.  It was for a new collection from the Fing'rs brand called Heart 2 Art.  There was so many new products!   Here are a few things that I spotted.  I felt really weird taking pictures because the lady was still assembling the display and it was in the middle of the walkway at Wal-Mart.  So the pictures are blurry and I missed a lot of stuff too.  I did all this so I could have something to post on here and Instagram!  You're welcome!

They have some nail art tools including that dotting set and a set of nail art brushes too (not shown).  So exciting!  And if you ever wanted to try OPI Spotted they appear to have a dupe of that polish!

Stripping tape, nail stickers, glitter and nail accessories!!!

Nail art decals.  They had some really cute ones!!

Nail Decals!

Nail Tattoos!  How cool!!

And polishes!  I thought these were nail art polishes with a striping brush, but they weren't.  Well at least the bottom row wasn't.  And I spotted something interesting in this bunch.  They had awesome looking glitter toppers!  These polishes are on the small side, almost mini, 0.29 fl oz or 8.8 ml.  

These are $1.68 not $2.48.   The accessories under are $2.48 I believe.

These are the polishes I got at Wal-Mart.  I didn't have Sinful Colors Mint Apple and that Salon Perfect Light My Fire looked stunning.  Been seeing a lot of orange with gold shimmer polishes lately and I wanted one too!!!  So the three Heart 2 Art polishes I got were (from L to R) Stop Metalling In My Business, V.I.Purples, and In Mint Condition.  Now Stop Metalling In My Business and In Mint Condition appear to be dupes for Deborah Lippman's Wicked Game and Mermaid's Dream.  Actually I'm not sure about Stop Metalling In my Business being a dupe, it is similar though.  It looks like a grayish green with a purple duochrome polish.   

My Wal-Mart polish haul.

Here is a close up bottle shot of In Mint Condition.  I don't have the Deborah Lippman to compare, but it certainly reminded me of it!  And after bringing this home I googled it and all the pictures make this look like a pretty good dupe.  


Well, I decided to wear it as a mani.  Here is my swatch of In Mint Condition.  This is two coats.  Thinner coats seem to work better with this polish.  What do you all think?  Dupe?  I have looked at a dozen other swatches and this seems a little more dense with blue glitter.

Confession.  Every time I saw a swatch of this polish I kind of hated it.  There have been some really good swatches that made the DL look kind of nice, but I didn't do that great of a job and I'm still not a fan.  Lol!  The polish hoarder in me just wanted a dupe of a high end polish.  This polish was $1.68!  I don't care that I don't like it!

Sears Clearance

Quick post!  I just got back from Sears and they were having a beauty clearance, so of course I looked straight for the nail polish.  They had a great deal on L'oreal Nail Polish!  I don't have any L'oreal polishes, but always wanted some because the colors look great.  So at $1.50 a pop I got me some!  Woo hoo!  They are usually around $5-$6 each.  And I got a color I've been eyeing for a few months now.


They also had a lot of Nicole by OPI colors on clearance for $4.  And a few Sally Hansen colors (although I didn't see any good ones) for like $1.81. 


They had other beauty items too, but I didn't pay much attention to that.  Sorry.  


Here is my haul!  See that green one on the bottom left?  It's called Safari chic and it had been calling me for a long time.  Everytime I see it, I want it.  And now that it was $1.50 I couldn't pass up the opportunity!  I got a lot of pinks because I realized that while I love pink polishes I only had 1 in my stash!  Yikes!

So check out Sears for clearance deals!  I didn't even realize they had a cosmetics section.  Well their cosmetics section is mostly drug store brands, but it was still pretty vast!

Ross Haul

I love me some Ross!  So many of my friends say that it is so hard to shop there.  They are nutz!  It is just as hard to shop at the department stores or other clothes shops.  Sure you can see the clothes on display, but you get disappointed when your size isn't there.  At Ross you go straight to your size.  You don't have time to get disappointed!  I can't shop anywhere else besides Ross, Marshalls and TJ Maxx.

Anyways, who knew this was a great place to get nail polish?  I certainly didn't until I started reading all these blogs.  I would hardly ever go to the cosmetics section of the Ross.  Now I hound that place every time I go in!

This is what I got a couple nights ago.  So excited!
Color Club 7pc set  $7.99.

JLB 7pc set $5.99
One thing to be careful of is check to make sure your set has not been tampered with.  Essentially just make sure you don't see the same colors in the packs.  I've seen that happen.  :(  People are so mean sometimes.

I'm excited about my Color Club set.  I've heard of people getting really cool sets, and every time I go I'm disappointed with the Color Club sets that they have, but this time it was pretty cool.  The set says Take a Walk on the Wild Side, but I think I've heard that the name of the sets in Ross are different than the actual sets that were released.  And the names on the packaging is wrong too.   Oh well, these polishes are usually $8 a pop on the Color Club website.  

The JLB nail polish appears to be a cheapie polish, but they looked so beautiful and the bottles were cute too.  I was pretty impressed.  I used one as a manicure the other day and it was so pretty!  The formula was really weird though.  It didn't spread on the nail at all almost like it dried instantly on the nail as you put it on.  But it wasn't dry.  However, the pigmentation was so awesome that it was a one coater!  I did a couple coats on some nails, only because I was thrown by how weird the formula was.  This might be a really good stamping polish.  Will try that out next!

Have you found any treasures at Ross?
